A number of criticisms of o recent paper by Block and Wilensky (1979) ore mode. (1) In attempting to assess the obset-votionol adequacy of story grommors, they state that o context-free grommor cannot handle discontinuous elements; however, they do not show that such elements occur in the domain to which the grommors opply. Further, they do not present adequate evidence for their claim that the...

Few attempts have yet been made to implement a story engine for guiding interactive drama. Most of them rely on the computer's ability to generate the story in full detail. By focusing on story guidance at the level of morphological functions as defined by Russian formalist Vladimir Propp, we take a different approach. We do not attempt to provide a model for generating stories in detail. Inste...

Important and useful information on the aetiology of glycosuria has come at different times through a number of investigators and * through improved methods of technique and advanced knowledge of anatomy, physiology, pathology as well as other sciences, particularly organic and biochemistry. The glycosuria in pregnancy is however a problem of more recent investigation. Cammidge (1913) considere...

Evidence-based decision making often relies on meta-analyzing multiple studies, which enables more precise estimation and investigation of generalizability. Integrative analysis heterogeneous studies is, however, highly challenging in the ultra high dimensional setting. The challenge is even pronounced when individual level data cannot be shared across known as DataSHIELD constraint (Wolfson et...

Due to the ability simultaneously interrogate multiple tags with a far operating distance, radio frequency identification (RFID) has been widely used in modern farms improve management efficiency. In smart farm applications, how quickly locate and search some specified items (e.g., animals) is critical problem, for which tag searching can be solve problem. While there are works on searching, th...
